About the studio

When you enter our studio you will open the door into one of our class rooms where we teach our "off-the pole" classes like stretch, chair and hand-balance. Make yourself cozy in our waiting area at the back of this room, you will see the sofa and chairs. Once it's time for class your instructor will call you in!

Your class will consist of a diverse group, with participants of various ages and genders, all sharing the same level. Some will be attending for the first time, while others have been coming for a few weeks or months. Everyone is super friendly and knows what it's like to be brand new!

Classes begin with warm-ups, stretches, conditioning exercises, and then move on to skill training. If you have any questions throughout your class, don't hold back on asking – the instructor is there to guide you every step of the way and we want to support you the best we can!

I love everything about pole!! But the thing I love the most how I feel…. I love feeling so confident, strong and sexy. I have changed so much since starting. I have become more confident and stronger, I've also became happier. I feel like I have found my missing piece that I have been searching for all my life!

My first class was super super fun learning how to spin around and it was a real family vibe. I like the challenge of learning new moves and having a fun way to get big muscles. Everyone is super friendly and I’ve made heaps of friends at the studio with interests outside of pole too.

I love that with pole there is always something new to learn and challenge yourself with, it never gets boring! It was initially quite daunting standing in front of the big mirrors looking at my reflection but now it doesn't bother me at all. My confidence has grown so much over the last few years and I'm more comfortable with my body than I have ever been.

Pole is totally different than any activity I do regularly. I get to play, fall down-safely ;)- flow...it's probably the most creative thing I do these days and I need this in my life!
